The Bronze Age collapse around 1200 BC devastated Greek civilization. Egyptians were the only Mediterranean civilization to survive intact, maintaining continuous records from 3100 BC. Greeks lost literacy during the Dark Ages and had only 300 years of historical memory by 450 BC. Their mythology developed as they tried to reconstruct lost history.
